To The Stranger In The Mirror
To The Stranger In The Mirror
Being myself, truly
Gazing in to the mirror and beyond peering deep in to that..Some one I whispered
Oh stranger, I seldom feel lonely
I think I know you long before
Yet I did never acknowledge it
I wanted to stretch my arms and hug
Her tight and mutter
I am your safe place
That one moment I felt
Like the earth dense with tropical abundance and just sang the song
The farmers sung to the paddy fields
To the birds, to the sun ,to the wind
For that kind of love ran in my veins
Like the sun ,I wanted to burn and
Spread my light with out fail never
Complaining not cursing out
Oh yeah,like the rain that drenches
Quenches I melted through every cells
I became the dew drop that leaf blades adorn to welcome every day after the night goes ,
Being myself ,taking myself in to
My arms I learned,
I can only give when I have love
When I am love and don't seek it
Any where in this cosmos
I could sense t
he raise of waves
In me of the ocean that bears
Best of the oysters and very best Pearl's
I could bloom like night Lilly that just
Smile and give away its fragrance
To wither away and forgotten
Being myself, my light and my shadow
I grew ..in age .. call it metamorphosis !
I spread roots like the ancient Banyan tree, which stood in the corner of my land
I am a home for infinite species
I am a habitat for the lost and homeless
I heard the heart broken verses of
Lovers poets drunkards ...enjoying
Irony ...that is the crux of existence
I saw saints sages street dancers and nomads
All kinds of ...truth life beholds
Being myself
I wrote ...Is all one need ..
Just like the sky ,the clouds ..
Gazing in to the large eyes
I said Girl...go on.....
Letting loose unfastened hair with grey shades
Fondling my wrinkles that made me wiser
I loved ...being myself and dissolving into
The larger self ...
